Am I legally obligated to open the door for a policeman under these circumstances?

1. They have received a noise complaint
2. There is empty booze containers in plain view in my household (not illegal to have those in your house)
3. They say they can smell booze on my breath when I'm underage
4. I tell them they can't come in
5. There is people underage drinking in my house but there was no evidence of this
6. The officer will not identify themselves with a badge number or name (Optional)

And this happened at a "party" of only like 20 people.

Even if I had said people are drinking underage, I had been drinking, but also said you can't come in, would they have any right to enter the house?

Also, do you even have to open the door if a policeman is at your house?
Oh, and I live in Ontario canada..

2. 85% of kids drink.. atleast in this province/region.

3. Answers from someone who actually works in the Justice System, Law. not some moron who's getting their answers from cops.

Why do I legally have to open my door? What if I don't hear them knocking?
I realize they are allowed to open the door with a search warrant with any means necessary, but what judge will allow a search warrant for a noise complaint (that has no scale, it is based solely on the opinion of a neighbour) and suspicion of underage drinking?
